Has anyone ever won a tournament without double faulting?

Looking at AO stats today, I saw Murray has only hit one double fault the entire tournament and I thought that was pretty impressive. It got me thinking, has anyone in history ever won a tournament without double faulting?

Not sure, but I bet there are at least couple out there. Mats Wilander comes to mind, a very good player that got the first serve in all the time to start the point. Very few opportunities for double faults to crop up.

Don't know about the DF question but I do recall seeing an Agassi match back in the 90s where he did not even "single fault" on his serve. He had just come back from a wrist injury and was taking it a bit easy on his serves. Fairly certain, but not absolutely sure, that he hit 100% of his serves in and still won the match.

0 double faults in a whole tournament is not something necessarily good.

For example, I don't expect Goran having 0 DF in a tournament, because his second serve was so potent, with such spin and well placed that it is impossible for him to not DF many times in a whole tournament.

On the other hand, his super-aggresive second serve gave him totally the command of the points (if not the point directly because of it being an unreturned second serve), so it was a good strategy for him even if he double-faulted 10 times per match or so on average.

it's not a slam but i've got roddick with 70 aces and 1 DF when winning lyon in 2005... now beat me that !

I know it is great to go through a tournament without double faulting like what Hingis apparently did at the US Open. However the mention of Hingis and her very weak second serve makes me wonder if that's really that important. I wonder what the percentage of second serve points she won against top players.

What would be a more interesting and more important stat would be the highest percentage of first and second serve points won. You can risk some doubles (like Sampras) if your second serve is strong overall.

Anyone here keep track of the highest percentage of service points won in a tournament? I know Krosero keeps track of consecutive serve points won.
